Thermal Body Scanning
Breast Scan
With 36 years of experience as a qualified nurse, Wendy has spent many years with women who have found a lump in their breast or under their arm. She truly understands the fear that comes with the word “cancer”, and we make sure every woman who comes to us is listened to and treated with care.
Thermal imaging is non-invasive, safe and has no side effects whatsoever. A thermal scan can monitor breast physiology and can monitor changes when carried out regularly.
This breast scanning service is suitable for women of all ages. It gives the opportunity for women to check their breast health and detect any potential abnormalities at an early stage. It can be used by women of all shapes and sizes – small breasted women, large breasted women, women with breast implants, women with fibrocystic breast tissue, women with 'dense' breast tissue and women who have had mastectomies.
Breast cancer in men is rare, but on the rise.
Your GP: The essential first step if you notice any unusual changes, lumps, or symptoms on your chest. Your GP can arrange an urgent referral to a hospital breast clinic for tests like a mammogram, ultrasound, or biopsy

Women’s Health Check Scan
Do you feel “not quite yourself”? Perhaps you have breast tenderness, changes to your periods, tiredness, disrupted sleep, mood swings or weight you can’t shift, and you’re wondering whether your hormones play a part. Symptoms like these can have many causes. Our Women’s Health Check gives you a clear, personal record of the heat and blood flow patterns in the areas of the body where hormonal activity often shows up.
The scan covers the head, neck (including the carotid arteries and thyroid), breast, abdomen, cervical spine, upper back and lower back. It does not include the arms or hands. Meditherm’s Women’s Health Grading System grades your thermal patterns on a simple scale, and your thermologist’s report then goes through each area in turn. The grading describes thermal patterns and is not a diagnosis. If you come back for another scan in the future, we can compare your patterns over time.
Thermography does not measure hormone levels. The scan is quick and comfortable, with no radiation, contact or compression. It is available from age 25, and because it includes the breasts, we cannot scan during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for 3 months afterwards. It doesn’t look at the organs in great detail, so if you have a particular concern, an upper body or full body scan covers more.
Upper Body Scan
An upper body scan can be repeated annually, like a full body scan. It covers everything from the head to the pelvic region: the head, neck (including the carotid arteries and thyroid), chest, breast, abdomen, cervical spine, upper (thoracic) back and lower back (lumbar-sacral areas). Legs, knees and feet are not included, but everything else is the same as the full body scan.
Because it includes the breasts, it is available from age 25, and we cannot scan during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for 3 months afterwards. Unlike the Women’s Health Check, this scan does not include the hormonal grading.
Full Body Scan
A full body scan can be repeated annually, and covers you from head to toe: the head, neck (including the carotid arteries and thyroid gland), chest, breast, abdomen, cervical spine, upper (thoracic) back, lower back (lumbar-sacral regions), arms, hands, legs, knees and feet.
Why have one? Because it gives you the whole picture in one visit. Thermal imaging records the heat and blood flow patterns across your whole body, so it can show where an area is warmer, cooler or uneven compared with the rest. Many clients come with pain, stiffness, poor circulation or an old injury they can’t explain, and it is fascinating to see your own body’s pattern laid out. Repeated over the years, it also becomes a personal record of how your body is changing.
Thermography is not a diagnosis and does not replace medical examination or imaging. Many people have a full body scan for peace of mind. The same age and breastfeeding rules apply as for the other scans that include the breasts.
Single Region Scan
If you have a particular problem area, we can focus on one part of the body: the head, neck, chest, abdomen, spine, arms, legs or feet. This is ideal for a specific injury, ongoing pain or discomfort, or an area that has troubled you for a long time.
Arthritis Study – imaging of any one of the regions above.
Cardiac Study – imaging of head, neck and chest, recording the heat and blood flow patterns of the skin over these areas.
Dental Study – imaging of the head and neck.
Chronic Pain Study – Some long-lasting pain conditions affect an arm or leg, and the pain can be far worse than the original injury. Thermal imaging shows the skin temperature of the affected limb compared with the other side. Temperature differences like this are one of the features doctors look for in complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS, also called RSD), and thermography is used as a supporting test alongside clinical assessment. It is not a diagnosis in itself.
